The only 6 speeds I'm aware of are AWD and geared very short.

Even if you could convert an AWD 6 speed to FWD only you would likely not see much gain because of the gearing problem.

Example:

5th in a 5 Speed Impreza is 0.780
6th in a 6 Speed STI is 0.756

A real gain of 0.024.

You might have an easier time finding a taller final drive.
